    Heart-Healthy Kitchen Applicances


    By Émilie Carignan
    Published February 04, 2010

    Those who take their cardiovascular health to heart know the importance of a balanced lifestyle. By balanced, we mean one that includes physical exercise, as well as healthy eating! We talk often about the importance of low-fat meals… and you need to know how to make them. We went on lookout hunt for kitchen gadgets that can help in our quest for a delicious—yet healthy—meal. Here are four that we found!

    Healthy Frier

    Is it your love of home fries that compels you to read this? You’ll no doubt be happy to know that with this oil-free fryer, you’ll be able to munch on fries guilt-free! Only one spoonful of oil is needed to prepare two lbs. of fries. Of course, this machine isn’t limited to only potatoes: your can prepare lighter versions of chicken wings and sautés, too.

    Steamy Cooking

    We often suggest cooking without fat for a healthy heart. But it is sometimes difficult to successfully complete a recipe without that bottle of olive oil! Thanks to this magic machine, how to prepare complete steamed meals will no longer be kept a secret. Its three trays allow you to cook more food at the same time (i.e. fish and veggies), and its cooking bowl also allows you to prepare rice and sauces. 

    Breville Digital Food Steamer, $99.99.

    Cravings: 1, Guilt: 0

    Late-night snacking is quite a common thing; but there is no reason to ignore our stomach’s rumblings when a healthy alternative exists to keep us happy and satiated! What better to munch on during a movie marathon that a bowl of popcorn (butter-free, of course!), prepared in just under five minutes?

    Slow-cooked to Perfection
     
    We love coming home after a long day at the office to the heavenly smell of a home-cooked meal. What’s even better is slowly savouring said meal. What’s more, this slow cooker comes with a removable pot, which lets you cook your meaton the stove and then finish it off in the slow cooker. Talk about versatile!

    Oh man, the HEALTHY FRY would be prefect for me. I don't deep fry anything. I have a French Fry truck 3 houses away from me and once in a while I get... [more]
